Targeting Yahoo again, Microsoft may be abandoning its "Project Granola" plan to grow its online presence organically, but that doesn't mean ignoring food altogether. Microsoft's MSN and Hearst magazines will partner to create Delish.com, a food and recipe site to be released this fall. Just like Conde Nast's Epicurious, but 13 years later! [AdWeek]

Tastebook, Conde Nast's latest attempt at harnessing loser-generated content involves ink and paper. No, it's not handing over the editing of its magazines to its readers, like startup 80/20 Publishing. But it has invested in Tastebook, a startup which binds 100 recipes (culled from its cooking site Epicurious.com or your personal collection) into a personalized hardcover cookbook. It'd be far more exciting if it were scratch-and-sniff, though. [Silicon Alley Insider]
